Origanal Question:
------------------
What device do I use on Solaris 2.x to run in 8mm 14 Gbyte mode?

Answer: (Provided by Thomas Plesha)

According to Exabyte, you want to use /dev/rmt/?c and use a 160 meter
tape. Here is a table of information from Exabyte:

        /dev/rmt 112 meter 160 meter
        -------- --------- ---------
        l 2.3 G 3.5 G
        m 5.0 G 7.0 G
        h 7.0 G 7.0 G
        c 10.0 G 14.0 G

Thanks, Mark
